“It was really just dreadful [sending her home], because I love Diamond, but one had to go so you have to make that decision and it’s really tough because they’re so incredibly talented, you know. She has an amazing voice for such a young age and it’s really hard to do that,” Britney told HollywoodLife.com.

“I was… um… I was looking for that eye of the tiger, that it factor, that something that just kind of wows you and takes you in and you just kind of know. So that’s why I made my decision,” Britney added.

What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Did Britney make the right decision by sending Diamond home?
